    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the key issue here is the question of interim staff. In cases where one moved from being an interim staff to permanent without following the procedure for advertisement, that is an illegality. That is total disregard of the law. It can attract the necessary penalties in terms of punishment to the county governments for what they do. The person responsible in that regard is the CPSB, which must be answerable for paying or retaining people in service who are called “interim” without going through the procedure for advertisement. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a matter of fact, let me speak for Elgeyo-Marakwet County. The current Secretary to the County Government in Elgeyo-Marakwet was an interim staff. When the time came for hiring, it was advertised and he emerged to be the best. So, it is important that, also, that should be applied across the board. For Elgeyo- Marakwet County, what it is very commendable is the fact that they hired someone who did not even come from that county. I think he comes from Siaya County. So, it shows also that there is rationality in some counties when it comes to equal opportunities even The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
